	A beautiful site, and a beautiful sight! Please look at http://windustrious.org to see the four-year-long effort to bring a freshwater wind farm to Lake Erie, offshore from Cleveland, Ohio. Did the community around Lake Vanern help build the groundswell to support the Wind Park installation? Congratulations on your achievement from across the ocean.
